Changing the Present
July 9th, 2008 -- Posted in charity, economy, family, frugal living | 1 Comment »I just wanted to let you all know of a fantastic organisation I just Stumbled-Upon.
I mentioned Kiva.org a few weeks back - where you could loan money to third-world entrepreneurs. Today’s organisation is a charity also - but they focus on ‘changing the present’ - as in changing what we give people as presents.
From the website: “Our gifts are a great alternative to that bath set or novelty sweater you were planning to wrap up this holiday season — just choose “Create A Card” from the shopping cart to send a personalized greeting card announcing each gift you donate in a friend’s name”.
I have seen similar organisations before - this one is great because they actually represent a whole lot of different charities and organisations. If you have a gift you need to give someone - please have a look today. Mum - I think I know where you’re birthday present is coming from this year! 
(P.S. to mum - In fact - go check it out, and tell me which one you want me to donate to on your behalf Yes everyone - my mother does read this blog… she really should come out and say hello in the comments some time (hint.. hint…)
